Los Angeles Thursday is a song about the subjectivity of beauty. It was a beautiful night for me, astounding in all its perfect details, but when I tried to shake a stranger out of his corporate coma, he couldn't see what I saw. Gabriel Goldstein and Gabriel Diamond helped make a gorgeous video of this song.
lyrics
Running water behind the hedge
Of a neatly columned, light blue cottage
Succulent fingers and succulent knees
Fifty foot towers are palm trees
Planes departing and arriving
Spot the sky, like stars out driving
An old man says, with passing eyes
"All the beauty, in time it dies"
I turn on my stair and cry my cause
"It's a beautiful night!", he turns to pause
Planes departing and arriving
Spot the sky, like stars out driving
Like stars out driving
He points skyward, shrugs and turns
Bird of paradise, in orange and purple burns
A cactus shows me his gruesome spines
Beauty, I suppose, tonight it's just mine
Planes departing and arriving
Spot the sky, like stars out driving
Stars out driving
